Campbell Knows Winston: Lions Ready for Giants QB
22 Nov
Summary
- Dan Campbell knows Jameis Winston from their Saints days.
- Jaxson Dart is out; Jameis Winston will start for Giants.
- Lions expect Giants' offense to remain similar with Winston.
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed confidence in his team's preparation for the New York Giants' offense, specifically noting his familiarity with quarterback Jameis Winston from their shared time with the New Orleans Saints. Winston is set to start for the Giants, replacing rookie Jaxson Dart, who has not cleared concussion protocol.
Campbell highlighted Winston's competitive spirit, accuracy, and experience, stating that while Winston isn't a direct replica of Dart, the core of the Giants' pro-style offense is unlikely to change. He specifically doesn't anticipate a significant increase in quarterback runs, expecting the run game to continue effectively.
The Giants have shown strong rushing performance recently, averaging 4.5 yards per carry over their last two games. As both teams vie for divisional positioning—the Giants seeking their first road win in over a year and the Lions aiming to keep pace in the NFC North—the game is set for Sunday afternoon.
